Watch Video Highlights From 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit’s Western Pacific Deployment

May 26, 2017

The Marine Air-Ground Task Force (MAGTF) is a term used by the U.S. Marine Corps to describe the principal organization for all missions across the range of military operations.

MAGTFs are a balanced air-ground, combined-arms task organization of Marine Corps forces under a single commander that is structured to accomplish a specific mission.

Since World War II, in many crises, the U.S. Marine Corps has deployed projection forces, with the ability to move ashore with sufficient sustainability for prolonged operations.

MAGTFs have long provided the U.S. with a broad spectrum of response options when U.S. and allied interests have been threatened and in non-combat situations that require critical response.
